Design a Print Programme for a Fashion Show

Assessment Details

This project provides evidence for the following standards:

Project Overview:

The Textiles Technology course at Hagley Community College is looking at running a fashion show and require a programme that profiles the designers and the work they are showcasing.

You are being asked to design a page for print programme that showcases one designer and their work. The final pages will be put together to produce the final programme which will be printed in colour.

You will be required to interview a textile designer from the Textiles Technology course and produce a short profile for them (including a photo). You will also need to get any imagery that demonstrates their work (might include photos, sketches, rendered drawings).

As a class you will decide on final concepts for layout and visual style of the programme and each be responsible for producing a page that adheres to that concept.

You are expected to communicate with the designer you are profiling at key milestones (final concept, final solution) for approval of your solution. They will be your key stakeholder on this project and you will need to ensure that you are presenting them and their work in an appropriate way.

Specifications

The following elements must be present in your design:

Content:

• a profile of the designer that includes:
• a photo of the designer
• text describing the designer's experience and areas of interest/specialisation
• examples of the designer's work:
• photos, sketches or rendered drawings
• written brief descriptions and/or explanations [from the designer] for each piece
• imagery should be produced at print resolution (no less than 300 dpi)

Final Page:

• no larger than A4 (210 x
  297). The final size will be decided by the class during the concept stage.
• each page must include a page number that follow the correct sequence when put together in the final programme.
• the final page will be delivered in PDF format at print resolution (no smaller than
  300 dpi)
• unless specified by the designer all imagery will be produced for colour
  printing

Note: you will need to specify elements such as fonts, colours, photo sizes etc as the concept work is finalised.

Requirements:

Design Process

You are expected to demonstrate that you have worked through the
design process to produce your final solution.

We expect to see:

• brief documentation
• concept sketches exploring ideas
• evidence of ongoing communication with the stakeholder (the designer you are profiling)
• documented stakeholder approval of a final concept
• project management evidence (timesheet, planning, milestones etc)
• ongoing evaluation of your ideas
• a final evaluation of your solution

Content

You will need to develop questions that will provide you with the content you need to create a suitable profile. You and the designer are free to choose the style of the content as all the designers will be different.

Final Page

All the final pages will be put together into a book format so you need to ensure that you have page numbers that work with a bigger sequence. We will handle this as a class.

You are free to layout the content as you see fit but the overall visual style of the page must conform to the concept developed as a class. Any changes you wish to make to the overall style must be approved by the rest of the class.

The final book will be printed in colour at 300dpi so it is important that your page conforms to those specifications.

Achievement Requirements

To achieve in this project you will be required to complete the following tasks:

• Produce a brief using this project outline as a base
• Produce a final solution that meets all the requirements of your brief
• Produce a plan that outlines costs (time) and milestones that allow you to complete the project on time
• Manage the project and your time using computer-based tools
• Demonstrate knowledge of word processing and desktop publishing, specifically the differences and what they are used for
• Use a word processor and desktop publisher to publish content
